Call for Sponsors 📣

Organizations are invited to sponsor the Code Sprint. A range of packages are available offering different opportunities for organizations to support the geospatial development community while promoting their products or services. Please check the this page for more information about sponsorship packages.

Topics 📚

The code sprint will focus on the following standards and specifications:

  • OGC API - Tiles defines building blocks for creating Web APIs that support the retrieval of geospatial information as tiles.
  • OGC API - Maps describes an API that can serve spatially referenced and dynamically rendered electronic maps.
  • Changesets API that is based on Testbed-15 outcomes and provides the foundation for a 'Transactional Tiles API Extension' for OGC API – Tiles.
  • Vector Tiles Extension to GeoPackage that describes a prototype extension of the OGC GeoPackage Standard to support the use of vector tiles technology
  • Variable Width Tile Matrix is a grid suited for the whole globe, that keeps the data in a geographic coordinate reference system.
  • OGC Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) defines a web service that can serve map tiles of spatially referenced data using tile images with predefined content, extent, and resolution. Developers of implementations of the OGC WMTS Standard, DGIWG WMTS profile, and the NSG WMTS profile are encouraged to attend.

Mentor streams 🎓

If you are coming to an OGC Code Sprint for the first time, you may be a little lost and confused about what you should do when you get there. For this event (and hopefully future events if it works well), we will have mentors to help you get started in the OGC Community. In the discord server, you will find a section of called "mentoring", which contains multiple channels. All the mentor streams will take place in the V:🎙 Mentor Room.
